Glossy SealsRfn.
[From the Omaha Heraldl
It was at the fall and winter opening of
one of the most fashionable firms in town.
The immense show room was crowded with
several score of the gilded and dimpled dar-
lings of New York. Nearly all were leaders
of fashion, and at least four could draw their
checks for one million dollars each. Money
was no object to them. They came to see
what was new in furs. They stood in front
of and around a beautifully formed young
woman. She was a perfect picture. She
was tall straight as an arrow and looked
every inch a queen. She was clothed from
head to foot in sealskin. The skirt or dress
was entirely of seslskin. A half dozen but
tons, covered with the same fur, were the
only ornament in front. The bottom was
trimmed with wide band Of Russian sable.
| The back was perfectly plain with the excep~
ton of little drapery near the waist. The
basque was tight-fttipg and was fastened
with small sealskin buttons. It came up
closely to the neck, where magnificent bar
pin, containing half dozen diamonds, held
| it together A quaint little bonnet Of seal
skin completed the outfit. The hair was of
| pure gold and was done up in a coil in front,
| in much the same style that Mrs. Cleveland
affects. Handsome solitaires depended from
the ears. The woman's face was beautiful.
| She was indeed picture and did not blame
the ladies for gazing at her-some of them
| with envious eyes.
''Turn this way, Miss Smith, said the
| gentlemanly proprietor, and the beautiful
| being in sealskin turned gracefully. A
| bright gleam of sunlight from an open win
| dow fell upon her. 1t lighted up her face
and hair and made the diamonds sparkle

'fYou will see, ladies'" said the gentleman
| in explanation, 'that the garment is made
| tight and to fit the form closely. Feel of it.
It is not 80 heavy as some of you imagine.
It's very warm to be sure, and could not

| have such costume. This particular COS
tune is for a celebrated actress. 1t was

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The election in Baltimore made it apparent
that the corrupt ring which has the favor of
the President of the United States has not
lost its grip. Good citizens everywhere will
wish the reformers better luck next time.
Rev. DR.. Daniel Dorchester, of Massachu-
| setts, who is both Republican and prohis
bitionist, tells the third party people that
| their end is not to be attained in their own
way, but that it will take sixty years more
to make as much progress in temperance re-
form as has been made in the last sixty
years.
Eighteen years ago, when the air brake was
| first tried, it required eighteen seconds to ap-
ply it to train two thousand feet long. Four
years later the time was reduced four Sec
| onds. Recent experiments with the air brake
on freight trains show that it can be applied
| to every car in a train of that length running
| at the rate of forty miles an hour, and that
| this train can be stopped withir five hundred
feet, or one-fourth of its own length, and all
| this without any serious jolting.
The British American Citizen, the organ of
| the recently developed movement for the
| naturalization OF citizens of English and
Scotch birth, is published in Boston, and in
its first number t'comes out" for the Repub-
ican candidate for governor, "not because
its supporters may indorse certain principles
and practices of the Republican party, but
because, on looking the ground well over,
/ they conclude that the Republican ticket is
| the best one for State and Incidentally mu-
nicipsl government presented this year."
The inhabitants of Kansas City think they
are excusable for thinking that George
| Francis Train is crazy, for he said: I went
| out on your streets this morning and the
eleanest place that could find to walk was
in the gutter. Why have you SO much mud
| in the streetsa You have some decent side
| walks, but the most of them are like hay
| racks You need an art gallery here and an
academy of music, something to elevate the
people to nobler ideal than that of hog.
You have made lots of money on hogs and
real estate, but if you keep all the time wal

An ingenious homeopathic physician in
Lyons, France, announces that he has dis
covered how to change mans character by
the simple a3 ministration of a few globules.
An inconsiderate, thrifsless man was trans
formed into the opposite by seven globules
of causticum put into his soup. A husband
who was so jealous of his wife that he would
never allow her to go out without him took
unconsciously seven globules of nux vomica
in his food and afterwards was never happy
if his wife remained at home. A young lady
who was very timid and retiring took few
doses of carbo vegetalis, and in a few days
the doctor says, she acquired ''une insolenct
sans egale." Good.

have done SO had I not been Loyalty
supported by my staff. Instead of fretting
or chafng in any way at coming under my
petticoat government, everybody concerned,
from the Office boy to the MANAGING editor,
has been devoted to my interests and more
than willing to carry out my wishes. No-
where, except in the South, could woman
rule SO large an establishment with such ease.
I do not say that nowhere else could woman
do it, for nobody knows what woman can
do, least of all the woman herself, until she
tries; but only in the South would the diff
culties be so smoothed away for her, because
nowhere else are the men SO true and chival-
rous.
At the recent meeting of the International
Hygiene society at Vienna a distinguished
English physician pointed out the great
economic benefit to a country received by
the enforcement of recognized and sound
rules of health. Referring to England he
said that in the last fifty years the gain to
that country in consequence of the better
health and longer lives of its people had been
at low estimate equivalent to 81, 800, ,000,-
O0O. 1ndustrlally considered, the per capita
worth of each inhabitant of the country, man,
woman and child, might be set at $500. If
child died at an early ag6~ the country lost
the wealth that it might have created if it
had lived to the average of human existence,
and any subtraction from the average was
partial loss to the possible wealth of the
country. For this reason not only was the
sum of human happiness greatly increased by
hygienic laws that reduced the average death
rate in England from over thirty to about
twenty per thousand, but the wealth of the
country was also greatly augmented in con-
sequence of the greater possibilities of pro-
duction. Beside this, the popular knowledge
of the laws of health went long way toward
preventing temporary sicknesses.

any more than the capitalist does, Did you notice the way the Pope combined with Bismarck to put down the honest working people of Germany and France? That illus tratcs the real position of the Church towards the common people. Don't imagine that the Church is in favor of the Knights of Labor; as l said before the Knights are only en endorsed in the hope of defeating something far more powerful than the Knights of Labor can ever hope to be-the political movement of Organized Labor. Powderly is a tool; that is all. We keep track of these things here in Hell.

Also that Powderly, along with the editor of the New York Herald, is working the Cleveland boom. am pleased with this be- cause We have just received dispatch from above telling us to prepare "the list" for PowderIy's name. Cleveland and Bennett are already entered, you know. Cleveland is in for that Maria Halpin business -se- ducing Q woman, and running her into an insane asylum to get her out of the way.

 This is poor company for Powder ly to be in, but it is none of our bus mess. We can only "enter' him. After all, it is perhaps the hope of cabinet position which has led him to take up the Cleveland boom for a second term, and you can for give him if we cant.

SOCIAL SCIENCE FOR THE
 PEOPLE.
WHY WE ARE POOR.

The present arrangement of society, as respects an equitable distribution Of property, is an utter failure. If this sounds too sweeping an assertion, let 1t be tested. Let the objector look around him and note the enormous mass of evils which might be, and are not, prevented. Let him observe that the benefits, both moral and physical, realized under the present system, are wretchedly meagre, and that the means by which even this trivial good is gained are at the same time productive of grievous wrong.
 The greatest evil resulting from the present social order is pocerty. Proper ty is proclaimed to be the reward of labor and frugality. But is it SO: Is wealth prinld facie evidence of individual thrift? By no means. Statistics show that not one in hundred of the most highly civ iIized people in Europe holds for his own use any property worth naming The masses have nothing but their daily bread, and that always of inferior quail ty, often in insufficient quantity, and no ass,Wance that they ere to continue 10 ho1e H uN. Says John Stuart Mill: "The condition of numbers in civilized Europe, and even in England and France, is more wretched than that of most tribes of savages who are known to us," And tenn is rapidly being reduced to the same condition.
 To say that no one should complain of this because it may be accounted for on natural grounds-the weakest being trod- den down in the general struggle for ex- istence-is to offer no alleviation of the misery, even if the explanations were correct. If some Nero or Domitian were to require hundred men to run a race with the announcement that the hinder most fifty or twenty should be put to death, it would be no extenuation of the despot's cruelty that the nimblest and strongest would be sure to escape. What though ninety and nine fleet run ners secure their lives, it were still an atrocious crime that one should die be- cause he could not run as swiftly as nine tv-nine others. So, if there be any that suffer privation or degradation, any whose natural wants are not met, or met with such supplies only as might be adapted to satisfy brute, this, though not necessarily the crime of society, is at 1 least it's failure And to assert as a miti- gatlon of the evil that those who suffer are the weak, is but to add insult to mis- | fortune. Is weakness then an offence to be punished? Rather does it not appeal to society for protection against the suffering it cannot itself avertf If the prosperous were fair-minded would they accept prosperity if for its possession
